The following statements were included in İmamoğlu's post:
"'O Turkish youth!
Your primary duty is to preserve and defend the Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic forever.
The strength you need is present in the noble blood in your veins.'

"Ey Türk gençliği!

Birinci vazifen; Türk istiklalini, Türk cumhuriyetini, ilelebet muhafaza ve müdafaa etmektir.
Muhtaç olduğun kudret, damarlarındaki asil kanda mevcuttur."
19 Mayıs Atatürk'ü Anma, Gençlik ve Spor Bayramı'mız kutlu olsun.
